Testimonials

We are a group of 6 guys in George using a wide range of Kayaks. The  XXXXXX I used to use had absolutely no stability and I was almost killed of Mosselbay Point due to this no stability on the first "voyage" and needed to be rescued by my buddies. Some of the other XXXXXX users complain about stress fractures on it. At the local fishing shop the owner sells about 40 kayaks a month. He sells any brand you want but Fluid are very popular. All of us are now using Fluid skis and although it doesn`t have a rudder(it can be fitted) and the hatches are small it is ultra tough-build of thick plastic! Just what you need when you lauch at the rocks like we have to in the Cape. The Fluid have a Cat type design (double hull) which makes it extremely stable. At Mosselbay Point the sharks are sometimes bothersome as they continue to circle around the Kayaks when the Bonnies are biting. If you fall off the Kayak this can become a disaster. We all use Shark-shields aswell. One guy still uses his Macski and are also very happy with it. Also- my xxxxxxx didn`t have any foam in. I send xxxxxxx an email about this stability but he didn`t even bother to listen to my /our very valid complaint. For me Fluid was a life changing experiece and therefore my Username. There must be other great products as well but I am NOT one for a  XXXXXXX.

The Buddy has a more defined tri-hull than the Chumani and Synergy, which share the same hull concept. The tri-hull is achieved by a soft keel complemented by curved rails on either side. This combination makes the boat track quite well on flat water for such a short sit-on-top, but at the same time, it enables the boat to play and carve on ocean waves.

The Buddy is a super stable and maneuverable boat. It is equally suited for kids and adults. Its volume and sidewall design enables it to carry heavy paddlers, but the short length makes it easy to handle on and off the water, even for kids. It also features a small seat in the front for a young kid, facing the paddler.

The Buddy was designed with ocean waves in mind, but it also proved to be surprisingly stable and easy to maneuver in easy rapids. Ferries are simple; it surfs pretty well, it turns on a dime and with thigh straps on it is possible to Eskimo roll it.

The seamless construction makes it exceptionally safe and durable, just like the other sit-on-tops in our line-up. The Buddy also has a dry hatch, foam plugs for the drain holes, and a series of webbing loops to attach thigh straps, a backrest and anything else you might want to take along on the water.

The Buddy can also be factory fitted with rod holders, converting it into a great little boat for inland and back-line fishing.
